Having done a few of these but not for a while, the word got round it seems as I was asked to do another pair by..............well if he cares to divulge that's up to him !!

 

It involves putting a smd halo ring around the projector housing, doesn't really show up on a pic but in real life the lights emitted are all individual.

 

 

I completely re furbish and clean, I have sprayed black the insert as per customer request, the top and bottom rubber brackets have been rubbed back and black sprayed also, the bottom one is not visible but the top one is, so it's important this one especially is perfect. All the adjusters are now working and well greased for what is hoped longevity, 4 silica gel sachets are inside each unit to absorb any moisture.

 

This is a pic of course when not on. I have fit some blue tipped H1 bulbs in the main beam for free, when daylight hits these they give off a subtle blue look.

 

 

It takes me several days to do this work, leaving things to dry or go off overnight. This next pic is showing the halo and the hid light on, the halo smd is still visible even with the dipped beam hid on. The hid kit I have fit is H3, 55w and the colour is 5000k.

 

 

This final pic shows the exit point of the two wires that run the halo, these just need connecting to the side light circuit, the hid ballast is visible also in this pic.

 

thats awesome buddy seen these on lees car and been wanting to sneak off with them :pinch:

Nice! :)

Top work as usual mate :thumbup:

Did a similar mod to mine a few years ago , looks nice when lit .:thumbup1:

Yes I know, you did artztogo's the same way and I was impressed at JAE 2013 :thumbup1:.

You may remember i used some neon halo's and i have to say after a few months one gave up the ghost, i dont think they like vibration etc, so im going back to the led route, with Alan's they are hidden inside the ring but im not sure how part of the reflector section of the ring would be hindered for the light output, but either way look great :thumbup:

I did some ccfl invertor ones for dicky and as far as I know they're going strong still, the smd and the boldy ones are both simple 12v connection as you well know, so less to go wrong.

 

Hidden ones do have an attraction but my main concern apart from the hinderence could be heat as they're in very close proximity to the lens, I have seen damage to the chrome projector ring on the very bottom on some headlight units, must only conclude that heat as caused this bubbling, however, if the alignment was so that it was pointing down and not centralized then this could well be the cause of this.
